The Correlation of Urodynamic Findings With Cranial Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract: Although patients with multiple sclerosis often are followed closely with urodynamic studies and cranial MRI, there appears to be no correlation between these 2 studies. Symptom scores also do not appear to correlate with urodynamic findings. Therefore, urodynamic studies appear to be warranted and irreplaceable in the evaluation of voiding dysfunction in multiple sclerosis patients.

“…However, in most previous studies of MS, except one report [4], no correlation was found between the subjective LUTSs and urodynamic findings [8,13,14,18,25]. Thus, one might object that LUTSs do not accurately reflect the bladder dysfunction in MS. For evaluating the LUTSs, the criteria for identifying symptomatic urinary symptoms must be clearly established.…”

“…Thus, it is likely that the site of CNS lesions is a main determinant of voiding dysfunction in MS. However, the relation between voiding dysfunction and neurological lesions has been the least studied [4,7,13,18,19,24].…”

“…Le questionnaire SSPI initialement développé dans l'évaluation des troubles urinaires liés à l'hypertrophie bénigne de la prostate a été utilisé. Toutefois, plusieurs études ont préalablement rapporté l'utilisation de ce questionnaire pour évaluer les troubles mictionnels de patients neurologiques masculins et féminins [20,21]. Enfin, nous n'avons utilisé qu'une faible partie du questionnaire Qualiveen [12].…”

“…However, many patients are found to have lesions on MRI without clinical evidence of the disease [20]. Conversely, the absence of lesions on MRI does not exclude the diagnosis of MS. No definitive correlation exists between MRI findings and specific urodynamic parameters [21].…”
